One taster keeps "falling in love" with Saint Lucia every time they nose it, and this 2002 shows why: fresh herbs, honey, mint, licorice and a whiff of glue and pepper. The palate runs bitter-salty with sugarcane and green tea. Several call it light and thin-bodied, and one wished for more fruit — but the herbal, French-style character wins people over.
The community says- Herbal and minty
- Honey sweetness
- But: Light, thin body

13th day in the Christmas calendar. Blind! Easy to assign with the tip on Memorial Day on 12/13: Saint Lucia. But was also clear in taste. Nose: fruity-spicy and spicy with iodine, solvent and pepper. But also lemony-fresh with a touch of tropical fruit, vlt. papaya. Then slight sweetness of honey and lemon marmalade. Out the back anise and mint and wood and some leather. Palate: bitter-hot-salty. Intense, sweet licorice. Nutmeg, clove and that mint again. Hints of grapefruit at the back. In the finish this remains and green tea and licorice join in.

Rather light.
Review by Johannes
Very good Lucia! Ideally it could be a bit fruitier
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
12/03/25: tasted @ open bottle sale TasTToe. I love rum from Saint Lucia. Every time I nose it, I fall in love again. I got fresh, herbal, honey notes. This one was rather on the light, thin side but still a good rum.
Review by bossi
Clearly a 2002 on the nose, as it is much closer to the CDI St. Lucia 2002 than the other two bottlings - Blackadder and Renegade 1999 from the crosstasting. Here, too, the glue is more present than in the '99s, but the honey is more dominant than in the CDI. A beautiful nose! The mouth is flooded with a powerful honey sweetness - absolutely no salt to be found, but a similarity to the French style. Herbs, sugar cane and grass can also be found here. The finish is medium long, herbal and somewhat bitter. 81 points

Read full review →It doesn't have everything you might want and look for in a rum. It isn't blockbuster. Decent well crafted rum but nothing to get too excited about. Better than average for sure but you can find better 11 Year Old St Lucia rums on the market. That said I will...
